This is the home of Shakespeare's daughter and should be as an example of the period and less for its Shakespeare connection. The house itself is nice but there is no insight to be gained into Shakespeare here. More

Having visited all 5 Shakespeare attractions this was the least impressive. A distant link to Shakespeare which consists of a few rooms and a small garden in comparison to the other attractions. More

It was interesting...but there appeared to be some sort of Easter game taped up still in every room which was disheartening. It took away from the feel of being zapped back into the time of Shakespeare. When you're looking at a stone fireplace and see an Easter bunny coloring sheet taped to it, it was kind of disappointing. More

This is the house that belonged to Shakespeare's daughter and her husband who was a doctor. Efforts have been made to give period feel with contemporary furniture but the gardens are the best feature, which include herbs the doctor (Hall) would have used in his medicines. More

The bed presented house in our opinion and the most attractive (I think more so that Anne Hathaway's). No guides in this house which would have been welcome or actors which are always an entertaining extra! Another Shakespeare house that isn't really a Shakespeare house. His daughter Susanna lived here, and actually for a very short time. Her marital home... More

Apparently this is one of the best kept of Shakespeare's houses. A couple of the exhibition pieces didn't seem to be there but it was still an interesting visit and doesn't take long to go round it. The garden in the back is lovely. More

The guide was so full of information as we entered the property that we needed to go further to find out more. A beautiful building steeped in history. Well worth a visit. More

Visited as part of the combined houses ticket. House and gardens beautifully presented and we were given a guide sheet explaining about the various rooms. The children were given a cryptic challenge to guide them round the house which kept them entertained and enabled us to visit in peace. Not too busy and enjoyed by us all as part of... More

In contrast to the Birthplace, Hall's Croft was virtually empty. The first floor docent was well informed, personable and entertaining. She readied us for what we were going to see. More
